Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd, BPCL informed the Bombay Stock Exchange, BSE, that the company's board, at its meeting held on January 17 has approved the scheme of amalgamation of Kochi Refineries Ltd, KRL, with the company.

The board has also recommended a swap ratio of 1:2.25, that is four fully paid up equity shares of Rs 10 each of the company, for every nine fully paid up equity shares of KRL, newswires reported.

Kochi refineries plunged as the price had to correct itself to this unfavourable swap ratio.

Most people like to think of themselves as risk takers, but what they really want is a guaranteed outcome with some momentary suspense to make them feel as if the outcome had been in doubt. The momentary suspense adds the thrill factor necessary to keep our lives from getting too boring. - Mark Douglas
